Although the information contained in this book is designed for parents and caregivers, it has been designed in a child-friendly format resembling a children’s ABC storybook, with each page containing links to videos or websites supporting the nurturing parenting ideas found under each alphabetical topic. Each page has positive prompts or key information points.

Feedback has been that babies respond to the images of babies which fill the pages of the book, and which can be used as a starting point for parents to tell stories about the babies in the pictures to their own infants.

The parenting topics include:

·         Anxiety
